No, you CAN'T root in the damn press box

was the reporter in ? Doing that? She appears to be a sideline/TV stand up person was she even in the box?

I agree demonstrative stuff in a working area that’s disruptive to others trying to work is out of bounds. Didn’t get the gist that’s what we were discussing, though.

 

Why?

Again, I think her tweet was an overreaction to the win. But excitement that her alma mater won? Professionally, that's a net positive for her.

 

Which is why the print/electronic chasm is there in terms of bias.

(Don't worry, I'll fix that myself.)

(whispering). It's really not.

 

Holy shit is this ever a perfect summation for my shrug to Pearlman's reaction. His entire Twitter feed right now is him pitching Winning Time (which he should be doing!). What's the difference between rooting for dipshit Deion or telling everyone to watch the show that's gonna put your kids thru college? Each one would be frowned upon within the ivy-colored walls of journalism school. And once Pearlman is done pitching Winning Time, he'll be back to telling us about that time John Rocker wanted to beat him up and Will Clark took Rocker's side, b/c that's what he's been doing for 20+ years.

 

The Rules of Serious Journalism we were taught as an inheritance and a sacred trust were lovely and important and logical and we’d all be better off for following them. In the long arc of history though, they stayed relevant for less time than AM radio, a bit longer than 8 tracks. And the marketplace reaction ranged between indifference and hostility.

If you want to write or shoot videos for Art, that narrow lane remains open. If you do it under a masthead or a call sign, you are taking on the yoke of a commercial venture.

 

(insert vigorous wanking gesture here)

Just checked the Denver Post's coverage and saw the "We Believe, Coach Prime" headline.

 

I've said it before, but when the shit hit the fan and newspapers started downspiraling 15 years ago, the suits were the ones who suddenly decided that we can forget about all those old rules ... all those old rules that had been rigidly supported and polished for all those fuckin' DECADES.
